surrogate wife

After the Wenhua banquet was over, Xue Yi and Wen Yumu left.

After Princess Qinran bid farewell to King Qi, she returned to the palace under the escort of the guards.

Liu Danshu hugged the piano and said goodbye sadly, "Thanks to the lord's love, I asked Danshu to come and cheer for the Wenhua banquet, but it's a pity that Danshu's lowly status almost ruined the lord's banquet, so I'm leaving."

King Qi has always been her guest of honor. Hearing this, the anger that had subsided a little in his heart was raised again, and he said with a sullen face: "Miss Danshu, don't underestimate yourself, it's that Xue Yi who doesn't know how to flatter her. snort."

Liu Danshu said softly: "No, it's because Danshu is not good enough, which made Master Xue disgusted."

"Danshu has lost her face and will come to the Wenhua Banquet again. Next year's banquet, my lord, invite someone else to come."

King Qi saw that her eyes were full of tears, she was as beautiful as a pear blossom in the rain, he hugged her weak and boneless body distressedly, and said angrily: "Danshu, don't do this, who in Beijing has a better rhythm than you?"

Some of the staff are used to please, so they said at this time: "That boy is just a grassroots man, he dared to be rude to the prince and make Miss Danshu sad, it is a heinous crime."

"This subordinate is willing to take the initiative to invite Ying, and teach that kid a lesson, so as to relieve this bad breath."

Sure enough, the King of Qi was satisfied, and said: "Very well, then I will leave this matter to you."

The staff member was named Wang Jie, who was the Chief History Officer in the palace. He had a long face and triangular eyes.

After getting the order, he returned to his own yard and called the servants, and asked them to gather a few local hooligans to disable Xue Yi's hands.

On this day, Xiaoshu came back from shopping with the cook, and came to Wen Yumu in a panic, "Young Madam, it's not good."

Wen Yumu was drinking tea, when he heard this, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Look, you're in a hurry, what's wrong?"

Xiao Shu patted his heart and said: "These days there are some ruffians gathered under the willow tree not far from our house. Every time I go in and out, I feel that they are looking at our house."

Ever since she experienced the robbery incident, she was extremely sensitive to the eyes of others, especially those tall, strong and fierce men.

Wen Yumu put down the teacup, and pondered: "You have done a good job, I will pay attention to this matter, don't tell the young master, and don't go out of the house these few days, just let the cook do the shopping."

Xiaoshu trusts him very much, seeing that he is confident, she is not afraid anymore, and bows with a smile, "Yes, then I'll go and prepare lunch first."

"Ah."

After she left, Wen Yumu took off the gauze robe and jade hairpin on purpose, tied his hair with a headband, changed into ordinary men's clothes and went out to observe. He found that those people were indeed following their house. I was very excited, and there were even two who followed me up.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he gradually walked towards a sparsely populated edge path.

The two men followed a small path and were about to make a move, but saw the person they were following stopped by themselves, turned around and looked at them quietly.

"Boy, you are quite vigilant. You are Xue Yi, right? You really look like a dog, and you are a little boy."

Wen Yumu's eyebrows twitched slightly, as expected, he guessed right, it was aimed at A Yi.

What they have offended recently is nothing more than the literati and poets at the Wenhua Banquet, King Qi and Liu Danshu.

"Who sent you here?" he asked.

The two laughed loudly, and walked towards him eagerly, "Boy, don't care who made us come, obediently let us abolish one of your hands, so as to save you from suffering."

Wen Yumu tilted his head slightly, as if curious, "Oh? Which hand of mine do you want to use?"

"Hahahahaha, it depends on which hand you hold the pen in."

"That's right, boy, explain yourself obediently, so you won't have to trouble Grandpa and me again in a few days."

Wen Yumu's eyes suddenly turned cold, "If you want my hand, you can trade it with your life!"

Damn it, damn it, actually wanted to break Ah Yi's hand holding the pen.

He raised his bare hands lightly and stretched out his sleeves, his jade-like fingers were perfectly slender, and the wide hem of his robe was slightly blown by the wind, like an exiled immortal walking out of a painting.

In the next moment, the murderous intent rose suddenly, and Yuebai's figure jumped up silently like a swallow, rushing towards the two ruffians.

"Kaba—" is the sound of the throat bone being pinched off.

The ruffian who rushed to the front collapsed clutching his neck in disbelief. Who would have thought that this jade-like hand was actually a murderous weapon.

The remaining ruffian was so frightened that he sat on the ground and moved back again and again, "Don't, don't kill me, I say, I say everything."

"very good."

"Yes, it was the servants of the Wang family who told us to do it."

"Wang family, which Wang family?"

"Yes, it is Wang Changshi. He is the chief historian in the Qi Palace, and he is a servant of his family."

Wen Yumu sneered, "Very well, you can die too."

After all, he pinched his throat.

There is no need to dispose of the corpse. Anyway, in ancient times, fingerprints could not be checked, and no one could trace his head.

He calmly walked out of the alley and walked home.

Was Wang Changshi ordered by King Qi?I didn't expect the dignified prince to be so narrow-minded.

It's a pity that the disturbance caused by killing a prince is too great, and a long-term plan is needed.

If he was the only one, he could have killed someone and fled thousands of miles away, and no one could stop him, but Ah Yi still had to take the imperial examination, and in the future he would be an official in the court. Once any clues were discovered, he might be implicated.

Even if it was only possible, he couldn't let this happen.

He pondered, walked to the door of the house, opened the door and entered.

The remaining three watchers outside couldn't help wondering, "It's strange, this kid came back in one piece, why are the fourth and fifth brothers missing?"

"Could it be that this guy is not Xue Yi, so they didn't follow him and wandered off by themselves?"

After waiting for a long time, until it was dark, no one was seen.

"Where did these two guys go!" The leader punched the tree and said angrily.

"Want to know? Let me tell you." A clear voice suddenly sounded above his head.

The three looked up, and at some point there was a person squatting on the tree, holding on to the trunk, looking at them with a smile on his lips.

They suddenly felt chills on their backs, and their scalps exploded. When did this person stay in the tree, and how long did they look at them? They didn't even know...

If such a master wants to kill them...

Several people swallowed saliva in horror, fighting with each other, not knowing whether to run away or beg for mercy.

"Hey, where is the hero?" the leader, Zhan Zhan, asked tremblingly.

Wen Yumu chuckled, "Don't you know me? Didn't you also say you want to cut my hand?"

"You, you are Xue Yi... No, this is impossible!"

"Impossible, it's not that Xue Yi is a little white-faced scholar, it's impossible!"

At this time, they finally saw clearly that the face against the light was the one who walked out of Xue's house during the day!

It's over, it's over.

The boss's knees softened and he knelt on the ground, "Hero, please forgive me, forgive us, we were also ordered by others."

"Yes, we were instructed by others." The two younger brothers also knelt down and begged endlessly, "Please forgive us, I have seniors and juniors..."

Wen Yumu gave him a cold look, "Which one of the people you victimized didn't have seniors and juniors?"

The man hesitated and dared not speak, but kept crying and begging.

"Tell me, who ordered you?" Wen Yumu asked the boss.

The boss seemed to see hope, and hurriedly confessed, "It's the long history of Prince Qi's mansion, named Wang Jie. It was the servants of his family who contacted us."

It seems that the two were not lying.

He asked again, "Do you know why he asked you to come?"

"Yes, yes, I kept an eye out and gave money to that family member. He told me that it was because you offended His Royal Highness King Qi, and Wang Changshi volunteered to teach you a lesson in order to please King Qi."

Wen Yumu lowered his eyes, "You can go."

"Yes, yes." The three of them got up like shit, and ran forward like crazy.

Wen Yumu followed them all the way, seeing that they really said to report to Wang Changshi's house, he killed them just as they were about to arrive, and threw their bodies into the alley by the side of the road.

Going forward for a while, there is indeed a signboard of Wang's house hanging on the courtyard.

He went around the wall, tapped his toes, and climbed over the wall.

After entering Wang's house, he overheard a few servants talking on the way, and he touched Wang Jie's bedroom all the way.

Wang Jie was sleeping with a woman with big breasts and fat buttocks, Wen Yumu knocked the woman out, threw her aside, and woke Wang Jie up.

"Who?" Wang Jie opened his eyes angrily, and then his face changed drastically, "It's you?!"

He certainly recognized Wen Yumu.

"Come on—" A dagger was placed across his throat, blocking his about-to-exit cry.

"Tell me honestly, did King Qi order you to abolish my husband's hand?"

Wang Jie was dripping with cold sweat, turned his mouse eyes a few times, and said: "Of course the prince ordered it, you made him lose face, and the prince wants me to teach you a lesson."

Wen Yumu sent the dagger forward, and blood streaked along the dagger.

"Really, it's really the prince. I have no grievances or enmities with you. How could I do this?"

Wen Yu Mu smiled, "Isn't it just to please the prince?"

Wang Jie got stuck, but still bit him to death and said, "Really, it's really not me."

Wen Yumu looked at him coldly, he could still tell whether a person was lying when faced with extorting a confession, not to mention that this guy's acting skills were too clumsy.

He pushed the dagger forward a little more, his eyes were full of coldness, "Say!"

"I said it, and I said it all."

"It's important to pay attention to the details, understand?"

"Yes yes yes. That day, after you left, Liu Danshu cried to the lord, the lord was angry at you for ignorance, and wanted to teach you a lesson, but he was too embarrassed to say so."

"In order to please the prince, I took the initiative to solve his worries and problems. I followed his mind and said that I would teach you a lesson, and the prince agreed."

"Really, really, I was just trying to please the prince, he is the one who really wants to teach you a lesson!"

Wen Yumu's dagger left his throat, "You are really a good dog."

Wang Jie just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw a white shadow flash past, and then there was a crisp click, and he clearly heard the sound of his throat being pinched.

Although the king of Qi is hateful, those who help the tyrant are even more hateful.

Wang Jie stared unwillingly and died, Wen Yumu slipped him out and brought him all the way to the gate of the palace.

He was worried that there were hidden guards inside, so he didn't rush in. He just placed Wang Jie's body directly in front of the gate of the palace from a distance, bending it into a kneeling posture.

Then, he cut off Wang Jie's right hand and placed it on the steps at the entrance of the palace.

All this is done silently.

He disposed of his blood-stained clothes and returned home.

Xue Yi was still sleeping peacefully, in order to prevent him from waking up halfway, Wen Yumu added sedatives to the tea he drank.

He looked at his sleeping face tenderly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke his cheek, lay down beside him, and closed his eyes.

Go to sleep.

In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily again in the capital.

In the early morning of the next day, the concierge of the palace opened the door to clear the snow in front of the door, but found a snowman piled up at the door.

"Strange, what is this, who built a snowman here?"

"Dare to make a mistake at the gate of the palace, it's really courageous."

Menzi walks over angrily, and will find trouble for him!

He pushed hard angrily——

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Wang Jie's body fell backwards, revealing a cold and pale face, and the door's shrill scream woke up the early morning in the palace.

Soon, Wang Jie's right hand was also found at the gate.

How terrifying, how weird.

Since many people saw it, the news could not be concealed, so the servants quickly reported it to King Qi.

Seeing Wang Jie's strange corpse and severed limbs, King Qi broke out in a cold sweat, his heart was full of surprises, as if a pair of eyes hidden in the dark night were staring at him, and an invisible knife was resting on his neck.

As long as he closes his eyes, Wang Jie's tragic situation will appear in front of his eyes, and the cold terror will strangle his heart.

"Check, we must find out who it is!"

"Go and call me Wen Changning from Wucheng Bingma Division!"
